I have a peppermint machine which is a standalone media server running Plex. My smart TV has the Plex app so that talks to it fine, but the TV in my kids play room isn't so smart. I have an Apple TV3 set in there for Netflix but there is alot of movies on the media server that she likes. I installed PlexConnect so that I can access the content from the Apple TV by following:

I do get asked for my root pw as soon as enter this command, been thinking this is the sticking point.

I am also looking at upgrading the whole system to v5 in the near future and what I was trying to accomplish I have found that it caused me issues with legit stuff through the ATV3. How would you like me to sign off this thread? As it will be a month or so before I do the upgrade I don't mind playing if you have any suggestions and trying to get it working so its here for future visitors, but I don't want to waste anyones time trying to solve something that that time is better spent on other issues.

# Determine if the operating system is OSX "darwin". If so, then delay running the rest of# the script until the network is up. This avoids the binding of PlexConnect to the# loopback address which occurs if the bash script is called from a LaunchDaemon/plist# file at boot time.

I think somewhere in my attempts to get this running i HAVE MADE A SERIOUS HASH.

Been trying to install Arista and Unetbootin via the software manager but when I try and install it starts then reverts back to saying install.

Wondering it would pay for me setup a bootable USB and then over write the PM3 with version 5 and start again with my installs of Plex and PlexConnect and try from there as something seems weird with my current setup

Plexconnect that I got was in here, the next few bits I have done are from following the link at the bottom.

I am happy to keep going did some digging today and I have only played with stuff related to Plex and it looks like the New Zealand servers are my problem. Trouble shooting why I can't get onto servers to do software updates so will do that on the side and keep working with you on this and will do the upgrade at a later date.
